Plant a Row for the
Hungry

We
are sponsoring a local
Plant A Row for the Hungry
for the second time this
year. Plant A Row for the
Hungry is a
people-helping-people
program to help feed the
hungry in local
neighborhoods and
communities.

We
are asking Stokes County
businesses, community
organizations, and
individuals to join us and
help with fresh food
donations by adding a row
in their garden for those
in need and donating the
extra harvest to a local
food agency, soup kitchen
or hunger relief
organization. We will kick
off our campaign on
Saturday April 18th.
Take the pledge and get a
free starter pack
(vegetable plants, row
marker, and bag of Daddy
Pete’s Manure) while
supplies last. Help make a
difference in Stokes and
surrounding counties.

Just
in time for Mother’s day,
give her a beautiful

at 10:00 join us for a
seminar on mixed container
gardens. Jim will give
tips on how to plant mixed
